1.  Introduction

   There are many technical and non-technical problems with the current
   Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) used for the World Wide Web.  This
   document describes these problems, considers some potential technical
   improvements, and discusses some non-technical approaches to
   improvements.

Internet-Draft              Web PKI Problems                   July 2015


   The Web PKI makes use of certificates as described in RFC 5280
   [RFC5280].  These certificates are primarily used with Transport
   Layer Security (TLS) RFC 5246 [RFC5246].

2.  Very Brief Description of the Web PKI

   These topics are to be covered in this section:

   o  Certificate bind a name or names to a public key

   o  Enrollment process makes sure:

      *  it is the right name

      *  confirms that party actually holds the private key

   o  Explain the entities

3.  Technical Problems with the Web PKI

   There are many problems with the Web PKI, and this section discusses
   many of them.

3.1.  No certificate status checking

   Many browsers do not perform certificate status checks by default.
   That is they do not check whether the issuing CA has revoked the
   certificate unless the user explicitly adjusts a setting that turns
   on this feature.  This check can be made by fetching the most recent
   certificate revocation list (CRL) RFC 5280 [RFC5280], or this check
   can use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) RFC 6960
   [RFC6960].  The location of the CRL or the OCSP responder is usually
   found in the certificate itself.  Either one of these approaches add
   latency.  The desire to provide a snappy user experience is the
   reason that this feature is not turned on by default.

3.2.  Unexpected certificates

   All of the CAs in the trust store are equally trusted for the entire
   domain name space, so any CA can issue for any domain name.  In fact,
   the legitimate owner of the domain name might be unaware that a CA
   has issued a certificate that contains their domain name.  Once the
   unexpected certificate is discovered, it can be very difficult to get
   it revoked.  Further, browsers and other relying parties cannot
   distinguish a certificate that the legitimate domain name owner
   requested from an unexpected one.

Internet-Draft              Web PKI Problems                   July 2015


3.3.  All domain names are at risk from the failure of any CA

   Since all of the CAs in the trust store are equally trusted, any CA
   can issue a certificate for any domain name.  There are known cases
   where attackers have thwarted the CA protections and issued
   certificates that were used to mount attacks against users of the web
   sites names in the certificate [FOXIT].  For this reason, all of the
   CAs listed in the trust store must be very well protected.

3.4.  CAs issue 'full powers' to subordinate CAs

   When a CA issues a certificate to a subordinate CA, the inclusion of
   widely supported certificate extensions can reduce set of privileges
   given to the sub-CA.  This aligns with the traditional security
   practice of least privilege, where only the privileges needed to
   perform the envisioned tasks are provided.  However, many sub-CAs
   have certificates that pass along the full powers of the CA, and
   additional high-pay-off targets for attackers are created.

   Some major implementations have not fully implemented the mechanisms
   necessary to reduce sub-CA privileges.  For example, RFC 5280
   [RFC5280] includes the specification of name constraints, and the CA/
   Browser Forum guidelines [CAB2014] encourage the use dNSNames in
   permittedSubtrees within the name Constraints extension.  Despite
   this situation, at least one major browser does not support name
   constraints, and as a result, CAs are reluctant to use name
   constraints.

3.5.  No automation for server operators

   There are many manual steps involved in getting a certificate from a
   CA.  There are at least two ways that this impacts web security.
   First, many sites do not have a certificate at all.  The cost, time,
   and effort are too great for the system administrator to go through
   the effort, especially if the web site does not offer anything for
   purchase.  Second, once a certificate is obtained, a replacement is
   not obtained until the current one expires.  Automation can reduce
   the amount of time that a system administrator needs to dedicate to
   certificate management, and it can make certificate renewal timely
   and automatic.

3.6.  Attacks are not reported when they are detected

   When browsers are able to detect a man-in-the-middle, they do not
   report this situation to the user.  Sometimes the man-in-the-middle
   is an attacker, and other times a service provider purposefully
   terminates the TLS at a location other than the web server.  One
   example became very public in February 2012 when Trustwave admitted



Housley & O'Donoghue     Expires January 7, 2016                [Page 4]


Internet-Draft              Web PKI Problems                   July 2015


   that it had issued a subordinate CA certificate for use by a company
   to inspect corporate network traffic [LC2012].  Regardless of the
   reason for the man-in-the-middle browser users should be aware of
   them every time that they are detected.  If the man-in-the-middle is
   an attacker, then they are thwarted.  If the man-in-the-middle is the
   service provider, then the browser user is aware that the traffic is
   not protected to the ultimate destination.

3.7.  Weak cryptographic algorithms or short keys

   Many certificates contain weak cryptographic algorithms or contain
   public keys that are too short.  In many cases, this is because
   algorithm and key size choices that were reasonable when they were
   chosen and then put in a certificate with an extremely long lifetime.
   As a result, valid certificates contain cryptographic algorithms
   after weakness has been discovered and widely known.  For example,
   certificates that use the MD2 or MD5 one-way hash functions should be
   replaced.  Similarly, valid certificates contain public keys after
   computational resources available to attackers has rendered them too
   weak.  For example, certificates that contain RSA public keys shorter
   than 1024 bits should be replaced.

   Today, the algorithms and key sizes used by a CA to sign certificates
   with a traditional lifespan should offer at least 128 bits of
   security.  SHA-256 is a widely studied one-way hash function that
   meets this requirement.  RSA with a public key of 2048 bits or ECDSA
   with a public key of 256 bits are widely studied digital signature
   algorithms that meet this requirement.

4.  Non-technical Problems with the Web PKI

   While there are several technical issues that impact the widespread
   usage of the Web PKI, there are also a number of non-technical or
   process problems that have impeded adoption and deployment.  This
   section discusses the ways that business models and operational
   processes are hindering the Web PKI.

4.1.  Determination of the Trusted Certificate Authorities

   The current system for determining which CAs are added to or removed
   from the trusted store is perceived as opaque and not terribly
   uniform across the industry.  As mentioned earlier, the CAB Forum has
   developed baseline requirements for the management and issuance of
   certificates [CAB2014] for individual CAs.  However, the process or
   set of requirement by which an individual CA gets added to the trust
   store for each of the major browsers is not clear or transparent.
   The browser vendors and the CAs determine what should and should not
   be trusted by default.  There are options to make local modifications



Housley & O'Donoghue     Expires January 7, 2016                [Page 5]


Internet-Draft              Web PKI Problems                   July 2015


   by educated users, but there is little understanding about the
   implications of these choices.  How does an individual, organization,
   or enterprise really determine if a particular CA is trustworthy?  Do
   the default choices truly represent the organization's trust model?
   What constitutes sufficiently bad behavior by a CA to cause removal
   from the trust store?

   One form of bad behavior by CAs is the mis-issuance of certificates.
   This mis-issuance can be either an honest mistake by the CA,
   malicious behavior by the CA, or a case where an external party has
   duped the CA into the mis-issuance.  When a CA has delegated
   authority to a sub-CA, and then the sub-CA issued bad certificates
   either unintentionally or maliciously, the CA is able to deny
   responsibility for the actions of the sub-CA.  However, the CA may be
   the only party that can revoke the sub-CA certificate to protect the
   overall Web PKI.

4.2.  Dominate Certificate Authorities

   The CA industry has evolved to the point where there may be a few
   very large CAs that are critical to significant portions of Internet
   infrastructure.  The Internet ecosystem must support these CAs; they
   have become so critical that they cannot be allowed to fail.  As a
   result these CAs are able to dominate the Web PKI.  Some mechanism is
   needed to ensure that these "too big to fail" CAs always act in the
   best interest of the Internet ecosystem as a whole.

4.3.  Cost and Complexity of Deployment

   There are many tales about the cost associated with Web PKI
   deployment and the difficulties that system administrators face to
   enroll and renew their certificates.  The steps required to acquire
   and install a certificate are both costly and complex.  Automation is
   needed to make these tasks simple and straightforward.  In addition,
   automation should reduce the cost.

5.  Emerging Technical Improvements

   Many activities are underway to improve the Web PKI.  Each of these
   activities offers some improvement, and taken together, they offer
   significant improvement.

5.1.  Certificate Status Checking

   To improve security, certificate status checking needs to be used at
   all times, either by checking a fresh CRL or by checking an OCSP
   response.  There are ways to make these certificate status checks
   more efficient.

Internet-Draft              Web PKI Problems                   July 2015


5.1.1.  CRL Distribution Points

   The certificate revocation list distribution point (CRLDP)
   certificate extension RFC 5280 [RFC5280] allows a CA to control the
   maximum size of the CRLs that they issue.  This helps in two ways.
   First, the amount of storage needed by the browser to cache CRLs is
   reduced.  Second, and more importantly, the amount of time it takes
   to download a CRL can be scoped, which can reduce the latency
   associated with certificate status checking.  Sadly, few CAs take
   advantage of the CRLDP certificate extension.

5.1.2.  OCSP Stapling

   Browsers can avoid transmission of CRLs altogether by using the
   Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) RFC 6960 [RFC6960] to check
   the validity of web server certificates.  The TLS Certificate Status
   Request extension is defined in Section 8 of RFC 6066 [RFC6066].  In
   addition, RFC 6961 [RFC6961] defines the TLS Multiple Certificate
   Status Request extension, which allows the web server to provide
   status information about its own certificate and also the status of
   intermediate certificates in the certification path.  By including
   this extension in the TLS handshake, the browser asks the web server
   to provide an OCSP response in addition to its certificate.  This
   reduces the number of round trips by the browser to set up the TLS
   session.  The web server can cache the OCSP response for a period of
   time, avoiding additional latency.  Even in the cases where the web
   server needs to contact the OCSP responder, the web server usually
   has a higher bandwidth connection than the browser to do so.  The
   provision of the time-stamped OCSP response in the TLS handshake is
   referred to as "stapling" the OCSP response to the TLS handshake.

   If the browser does not receive a stapled OCSP response, it can
   simply contact the OCSP responder directly.

   When every browser that connects to a high volume website performs
   its own OCSP lookup, the OCSP responder must handle a real-time
   response to every browser.  OCSP stapling can avoid enormous volumes
   of OCSP requests for certificates of popular websites, so stapling
   can significantly reduce the cost of providing an OCSP service.

   OCSP stapling can also improve user privacy, since the web server,
   not the browser, contacts the OCSP responder.  In this way, the OCSP
   responder is not able to determine which browsers are checking the
   validity of certificate for websites.

Internet-Draft              Web PKI Problems                   July 2015


5.2.  Leveraging the DNS

   Two mechanisms leverage the DNS to improve the Web PKI.  The first
   one, DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE), provides a
   verification control that is performed by the browser after the
   certificate is issued.  The second one, Certificate Authority
   Authorization (CAA), provides an authorization control to be
   performed by the CA before it issues a certificate.

5.2.1.  DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE)

   The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) [RFC6698]
   allows domain administrators to specify the raw public keys or
   certificates that are used by web servers in their domain.  DANE
   leverages the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) [RFC4034][RFC4035],
   which provides digital signatures over DNS zones that are validated
   with keys that are bound to the domain name of the signed zone.  The
   keys associated with a domain name can only be signed by a key
   associated with the parent of that domain name.  For example, the
   DNSSEC keys for "mysite.example.com" can only be signed by the DNSSEC
   keys for "example.com".  Therefore, a malicious actor can only
   compromise the keys of their own subdomains.  Like the Web PKI,
   DNSSEC relies on public keys used to validate chains of signatures,
   but DNSSEC has a single root domain as opposed to a multiplicity of
   trusted CAs.

   DANE binds raw public keys or certificates to DNS names.  The domain
   administrator is the one that vouches for the binding of the public
   key or the certificate to the domain name by adding the TSLA records
   to the zone and then signing the zone.  In this way, the same
   administrator is responsible for managing the DNS names themselves
   and associated public keys or certificates with those names.  DANE
   restricts the scope of assertions that can be made, forcing them to
   be consistent with the DNS naming hierarchy.

   In addition, DNSSEC reduces opportunities for redirection attacks by
   binding the domain name to the public key or certificate.

5.2.2.  Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA)

   The Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA) [RFC6844] DNS resource
   record allows a domain administrator to specify one or more CA that
   is authorized to issue certificates that include the domain name.
   Then, a trustworthy CA will refuse to issue a certificate for a
   domain name that has a CAA resource record that does not explicitly
   name the CA.

Internet-Draft              Web PKI Problems                   July 2015


5.3.  Leveraging HTTP

   Two mechanisms leverage headers carried in HTTP.  The first one, HTTP
   Strict Transport Security (HSTS), provides notice that all
   communication with that web server should be TLS-protected.  The
   second one, HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP), ensures that the same
   public keys are used to protect communications with the same server
   in the future.

5.3.1.  HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)

   HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) [RFC6797] is a security policy
   mechanism that protects secure websites against downgrade attacks,
   and it greatly simplifies protection against cookie hijacking.  The
   presence of the Strict-Transport-Security header tells browsers that
   all interactions with this web server should never use HTTP without
   TLS, which helps protect against eavesdropping and active network
   attacks.  For example, an attacker trying to become a man-in-the-
   middle has little opportunity to intercept traffic between the
   browser and the web server.

   When a web server includes theStrict-Transport-Security header, the
   browser is expected to do two things.  First, the browser
   automatically turns any insecure links into secure ones.  For
   instance, "http://mysite.example.com/mypage/" will be changed to
   "https://mysite.example.com/mypage/".  Second, if the TLS Handshake
   results in some failure, such as the certificate cannot be validated,
   then an error message is displayed and the user is denied access the
   web application.

5.3.2.  HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP)

   HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP) [RFC7469] allows a web server to
   instruct browsers to remember the server's public key fingerprints
   for a period of time.  The fingerprint is a one-way hash of the
   subject public key information in the certificate.  The Public-Key-
   Pins header provides a maximum retention period, fingerprints of the
   web server certificate, and optionally fingerprints for backup
   certificates.  The act of saving of the fingerprints is referred to
   as "pinning".  During pin lifetime, browsers require that the same
   web server present a certificate chain that includes a public key
   that matches one of the retained fingerprints.  This prevents
   impersonation of the website with a fraudulent certificate issued by
   a compromised CA.

   A website can choose to pin the CA certificate so that the browser
   will accept only valid certificates for the website domain that are
   issued by that CA.  Alternatively, the website can choose to pin

Internet-Draft              Web PKI Problems                   July 2015


   their own certificate and at least one backup certificate in case the
   current certificate needs to be replaced due to a compromised server.

   Some browser vendors also pin certificates by hardcoding fingerprints
   of very well known websites.

5.4.  Certificate Transparency

   Certificate Transparency [RFC6962] offers a mechanism to detect mis-
   issued certificates, and once detected, administrators and CAs can
   take the necessary actions to revoke the mis-issued certificates.

   When requesting a certificate, the administrator can request the CA
   to include an embedded Signed Certificate Timestamp (SCT) in the
   certificate to ensure that their legitimate certificate is logged
   with one or more Certificate Transparency (CT) log.

   In the future, a browser may choose to reject certificates without an
   SCT, and potentially notify the website administrator or CA when they
   encounter such a certificate.  This reporting will help detect mis-
   issuance of certificates and lead to their revocation.

   A administrator, or another party acting on behalf of the
   administrator, is able to monitor one or more CT log to which a pre-
   certificate or certificate is submitted, and detect the logging of a
   pre-certificate or certificate that contains their domain name.  When
   such a pre-certificate or certificate is detected, the CA can be
   contacted to to get the mis-issued certificate revoked.

6.  Emerging Non-technical Improvements

   As with the technical issues around the Web PKI, there are some
   possible approaches to address the non-technical and process issues.

6.1.  Open and Inclusive Web PKI Forum

   Is it possible to evolve the CAB Forum or create another forum that
   would create and manage the Web PKI in an open, inclusive, and
   transparent manner?  In the past, the CAB Forum has decided to remain
   closed.  The CAB Forum Bylaws limit membership to Issuing CAs, Root
   CAs, and Browser vendors [CAB1.2].

   Some organization to manage the Web PKI in an open, inclusive, and
   transparent manner is needed.  This would necessarily includes a
   process to manage decisions about which CAs are trustworthy.  It
   would be important for this forum to also respond to computer
   incidents that impact the infrastructure for the Web PKI.

6.2.  Cost Effective and Simple Deployment

   The IETF ACME working group [ACMEWG] is working on protocols that
   will provide system administrators an automated way to enroll and
   renew their certificates.  The expectation is that these
   specifications will lead to widely available tools for system
   administrators.  The Let's Encrypt project [LE]is already moving in
